.I have no idea what it is, but I suspect it would be very useful if you happened to have a few old bottles in need of a cleaning lying around..More ruby red images can be found, as they are every week, right here..------------------------------------------------------------------------------.Many thanks to Quilly, who has solved the mystery. Turns out I wasn't far off in thinking it looked like a bottle brush - "This is a Callistemon, more commonly called the [red] Bottle Brush tree. (It comes in white, too.)".

I just cannot believe there is someone out there who actually saw the movie "Salt on our Skin, amazing. I even remember where I was the first time I saw it, I think I cried most of the night after that!Your stuff is pretty cool, very enjoyable.

Your flower pictures never seize to amaze me.They are beautiful and so exotic.Never seen anything like it.Is the picture new? Do you have these kinds of flowers in Israel at this time of the year.Sigh. Wish I was there.. Here is ice and snow.

Hi Robyn, It is gorgeous and it's common name in Australia is just that, Bottlebrush. I had no idea they grew in other parts of the world, I thought they were native to Australia. Very nice shot of it too!

Who? Where? What island?

No, not a tropical island. My kitchen island, where my life happens.
Fine art, nature and travel photography from around Israel and around the world, with a side helping of musings and family life from a mom of two just outside of Tel Aviv, Israel.
